Neuvirth has now gone four games without suffering a regulation loss (2-0-2). He managed to shut out the Blue Jackets for more than two periods, but he eventually allowed the game-tying goal in the third frame. But the Flyers eventually got the game-winning goal from Sean Couturier. Neuvirth now has an 8-7-3 record with a 2.48 goals-against-average and a .919 save percentage this season. Feb 16 - 9:55 PM

Look for Michal Neuvirth to start Friday night.

Neuvirth kicked out 32 of 36 shots in regulation time in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Devils on Tuesday. Still, he has an opportunity to earn his third win in the span of four games tonight. Feb 16 - 5:14 PM

Michal Neuvirth made 32 saves in a 5-4 shootout loss to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night.

Neuvirth will see some time between the pipes with his battery mate Brian Elliott on the shelf for the next five to six weeks. Neuvirth's record falls to 7-7-3 with a 2.58 GAA and a .915 save percentage. Feb 14 - 1:26 AM

Michal Neuvirth is set to get the start in goal on Tuesday night as the Philadelphia Flyers face off against the New Jersey Devils.

Neuvirth is on a bit of a roll of late, winning two in a row and allowing just one goal during that span, although one of his wins came in relief during the shootout versus Arizona. He sports a 7-7-2 record with a 2.50 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage. Look for him to get some starts as long as Brian Elliott remains injured. Feb 13 - 6:13 PM

Couturier put an end to the game at the 1:52 mark of overtime to give the Flyers the victory. The 25-year-old now has seven points in his last five games. He now has 29 goals and 57 points in 57 games this season. Couturier has been one of the incredible surprises of the 2017-18 season so far. Wayne Simmonds scored the 20th goal of the season in Friday's victory over the Blue Jackets.

Nolan Patrick's fifth goal of the season tied the game at 3 with only 2.6 seconds left in the third period Saturday.

Patrick was taken second overall in the 2017 Draft and is finally becoming accustomed to the NHL as he has two goals in his last three games. He has 12 points in 43 contests but the Flyers have been using him more and more in offensive situations. He is worth taking at this time.

Travis Konecny found the back of the net in the Flyers' 5-4 shootout loss to New Jersey on Tuesday.

Konecny is up to 14 goals and 30 points in 57 games this season. That's largely thanks to his recent success as 20 of his points have come in his last 21 contests. He's been getting top line minutes and that's been a big part of his breakout.

Jordan Weal scored with just three seconds remaining in overtime to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 2-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night.

Weal beat Cam Ward with a wrist shot as time was winding down in the extra frame, giving him his seventh goal of the season and first since January 16th versus the New York Rangers. He now has 15 points in 47 games this season. He had previously been held pointless for a span of eight games.

Taylor Leier will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday night when the Philadelphia Flyers host the New Jersey Devils.

Leier has one goal and four assists for five points in 35 games this season with the Philadelphia Flyers. He has yet to score a goal in 2018, with his last marker coming back on November 22nd. He has absolutely no fantasy value. He will be joined in the press box by Mark Alt.

Voracek scored a goal in the Flyers' 5-3 win over Montreal on Thursday. He's up to 11 goals and 63 points in 54 games. He's already topped his 2016-17 total of 61 points and is in position to best his 2014-15 career-high of 81 points.

Wayne Simmonds scored a power play goal in a 4-3 shootout win over the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday night.

Simmonds now has points in three straight games for the Flyers. His power play goal on Saturday was his 19th of the season. Philly also got goals from Michael Raffl and Claude Giroux before winning the game in a shootout. Simmonds has 19 goals and 35 points in 55 games this season.

Raffl recorded no points in his first 21 contests, but now has five goals and eight points in his last nine games. A big reason for that swing has been the opportunities he's been getting lately. Raffl averaged a mere 10:55 minutes per game while he went through his prolonged season-opening point drought, but he's averaged over 15 minutes per contest over his last nine games. He's not a bad gamble right now, though there's no guarantee that he won't just fizzle out.

Dale Weise will be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes.

This will be the 13th game in a row that Weise will watch from the press box. He has four goals, two assists and a minus-7 rating in 34 games. Mark Alt will also serve as a healthy scratch for the Flyers in this one.

Provorov would have been a shoo-in to make the Russian team had the NHL decided to participate as the Russians are weak on the blueline."It is unfortunate and a little sad, because every time you get a chance to represent your country it’s something special," said Provorov. "It’s a different type of feeling because you get together, you have to jell real fast and find chemistry. It’s a shorter tournament, two to three weeks. Every time you get a chance to play for your country it’s something special. It is very unfortunate and sad that NHL players can’t go." Provorov is a special player and at the tender age of 21, is already the Flyers top overall blueliner. He has 10 goals and 26 points this season and his point totals are going to only get better as he is a star in the making.

Andrew MacDonald registered an assist in the Flyers' 3-2 overtime win against Toronto on Thursday.

MacDonald has only been held off the scoresheet once in his last five games. It's a rare hot streak for the defensive defenseman as he still has just a goal and eight points in 30 contests this season.

Gudas scored into the empty net to clinch the game for the Flyers as they knocked off Vegas 4-1. Gudas is known for his penalty minutes and his hit totals but the goal was a nice bonus. He has eight points in 44 games with 66 penalty minutes.

Hagg was playing in his 35th career NHL contest. His goal proved to be critical as the Flyers went on to earn a 4-3 win over Detroit. "It’s fun, especially with a win," Hagg said. "I was just closing my eyes and hoping for the best. When I looked up and saw the puck go in, there was a lot of emotion coming out. I had few chances earlier this season, so to see that one go in feels pretty damn good." The 22-year-old defenseman isn't likely to develop into a major offensive force, but he does dish out a lot of hits. He has 117 hits in 34 contests this season.

Brandon Manning is really struggling on the Flyer blueline as of late.

Manning has been on the ice for six of the last 10 goals the Flyers have allowed in five-on-five play. Perhaps Philadelphia will give Travis Sanheim or Philippe Myers another look in the NHL at some point.

Elliott suffered the injury in Saturday's game against Arizona during the shootout. He has posted strong numbers since Dec. 4, with a 15-5-1 record, a 2.51 goals-against average and .912 save percentage. The Flyers will have to press on with Michal Neuvirth as the team's number one goaltender unless they make a trade to help out their playoff push.

Neuvirth has now gone four games without suffering a regulation loss (2-0-2). He managed to shut out the Blue Jackets for more than two periods, but he eventually allowed the game-tying goal in the third frame. But the Flyers eventually got the game-winning goal from Sean Couturier. Neuvirth now has an 8-7-3 record with a 2.48 goals-against-average and a .919 save percentage this season.
